“As the congregation was going on with morning prayers, a man in the neighbourhood of the church walked to the front of the church with a machete and attacked the bishop. He slashed him several times before he fell down.

The suspect then ran to a nearby house from where police smoked him out. He confessed to committing the offence, claiming the bishop has been a nuisance to them with his morning prayers,” said Brigadier Daniel, adding that the boy will be arraigned in court to answer to murder charges.

Sudan Tribune reports that the boy was a drug abuser and was not in good terms with the Bishop after stealing the church’s bamboo fence.
